Extremely confused about a quote?

This quote is said in the Prisoner of Azkaban film in the Care of Magical Creatures lesson with Buckbeak.

Hermione: "I think they're funny."
Draco: "Oh yes, terribly funny. Really witty! God this place has gone to the dogs, wait til my father hears they've got this oaf teaching classes!"

I have never understood what this quote means. What's funny? What's witty?

lol it's bugging me, please can someone tell me.

yeah hermione is referring to the monster book of monsters. to actually support hagrid on his claim that the books were harmless and simple. and draco malfoy immediately swoops down on the chance to insult hagrid once more.

so he tells that it is very funny (in a sarcastic way) and calls hagrid "witty" - again sarcastically to show everybody what a dundderhead hagrid is. so he exclaims that his father will do something once he tells him that they have got hagrid teaching them lessons.

hope this clears your doubt! if it really does then vote my answer as the best answer! :D

Hermione means she found the books amusing, or she's trying to make out that they are 'funny'.

And Draco is mocking that, basically. I don't know how to explain this without treating you like an idiot. :p Sorry.

hermiones refering to the book of monsters not towords buckbeck and malfoy is just being himself hes mais in a sence mocking her witty can be used in many ways but i think hes using it in this diolect (combining clever conception and facetious expression)

I remember being confused about this quote as well! I think it would have made much mais sense if they followed the book mais closely here, as Hagrid is the one saying he thinks they're funny, rather than Hermione. To me, it seems completely OOC for Hermione to think the book is funny.

Didn't Hagrid originally say that he thought they were funny, then Hermione said she found them funny too, to support him?

in the movie it says the line weird but in the book Hermione is talking about the monster book of monsters (the book they are studying in care of magical creatures) then Draco responds to her comment.
